Vietnam aims for all public transport vehicles in the capital Hanoi and the southern hub Ho Chi Minh City to use clean, green and environmentally friendly energy by 2030, Vietnam News Agency reported Thursday.

The target was set under a newly approved national action plan on pollution mitigation and air quality management.

The plan, designed for the period from 2026 to 2030 with a vision toward 2045, also called for policies to support the transition of technology-based delivery and ride-hailing vehicles to clean, green and environmentally friendly energy.

The country aims to have 1,200 green buildings nationwide by 2030, according to the report.

Under the plan, Hanoi's annual average concentration of PM2.5 fine particulate matter is expected to fall below 40 micrograms per cubic meter by 2030, a 20 percent drop from the 2024 average level.
